tightwad tuesday and frugal friday

 

Want to get the attention of President Obama, or all of congress for that matter. 

We need to put action behind our petitions. 

What if we declared every Tuesday to be Tightwad Tuesday? 

On that one day of the week we keep our wallets, check books, credit cards closed.  We do not spend a single red cent.  And we send an message to our president and our elected officials that until they stop and listen to us we will continue.  Of course they will think we're really silly, if they think at all.  And at first it will appear to be like spitting into a Gale.  But if just a few of us do it, and each week we can talk a few more folks into joining in, over a period of time, maybe even by next presidential election, we will have an army of men and women refusing to spend money on Tuesday.  And when we contact our elected officials and our president we let them know that if they do not begin representing us, we will add Frugal Friday.  Of course we would be spending about the same money each month, just not on Tightwad Tuesday or Frugal Friday.  But think of what it would do to Corporate America if on one or two days a week, Wal-mart was as empty as a Baptist Church on Saturday?  No gas was pumped?  No line up at McDonalds? 

We have the power of the purse.  Remember, these First Class Corporate Americans are driven by Greed.  They want our money.  And by withholding it we can drive them crazy. 

You say it just can't work?  That's what they told Gandhi.
